Title: I need a good labor lawyer!!!!  Hee Hee
Post by athos on Jul 21st, 2004, 12:04pm
Just getting my unemployment going and the unemployment office called my old employer and asked them if they would have let me use a wheelchair..   and they told her no.... that is basically why they let me go, is because they "could not make accomodations for me in a wheelchair"  that it would be hard for me to get around in the office.  No it would not...  A survey of the basic layout of the office would show that where I would need to go would not be hard to do.  They might have to move a table down the hall a little, but hey.

The told the unemployment office, that I might have to do faxes and copies and things and I would not be able to do that....  come on..  even if I could not get out of my cahir for short periods of time, which I can, a wheel bound can still run a fax machine or a copier.

I was there the day that I got out of the hospital, and he said go home and get better....

I kept calling and saying I am ready to come back to work... how are you he said..  I said.. I am still having issues falling down a bit, but I will be there in a heartbeat but I will either have a cane or a wheelchair. And he would say NO!


My termination letter said:
"Due to the fact that we don't know when you will be able to come back to full time work I have to let you go, sorry I see no other way around this."

He called me and told me this before..  And I told him that I would be there. He said "no, Ken you are still falling down."  I can use a wheel chair. again he said no.

But now I have another witness that they say they won't let me work in a wheel chair, and of all people a government agency.

I am sure if this goes to court that they will say...  Well Ken was a lousy at this or this or this... but the facts of what they did I think cooked their goose.
Can anyone refer a good Labor attorney?

Pick up the phone book and take your pick, dude. It sounds like any attorney worth his salt would be all over this mofo. Bonne chance!

GMTA....

I was gonna say, let your fingers do the walkin. And don't "settle" for a laxidazical lawyer either....make sure he/she is workin for you. If you win Jet should end up paying the costs.

Ken,
Just got off the phone with a lawyer here in VA. Having given him just the background you listed in this thread, here is his suggestions:
Go to the Legal Services website for AZ at: http://www.lsc.gov/map/AZ.htm.

If they happen to not take your case, due to being overloaded or whatever, you can ask to be refered out to a private lawyer. 12.5% of the LSC revenue is earmarked for referal to private lawyers. You can state low or no income and they should be able to get this handled on a pro bono basis.

Any lawyer you use, should be federally certified to practice federal law. A labor lawyer would be the icing on the cake, but not necessary.

Ask the LSC for Status definition of Client Eligibility.
Hope this helps,
-dan

WOW! did you say Government Agency? Too bad I'm not a lawyer!!!  I could use 1/3 of the settlement our tax dollars are going to sending to you.  If you have everything well documented then any lawyer (even a bad one) should get ya something good.  Best of luck!
